Our pub, unquestionably the most historic and oldest in Harrogate, has a history dating back to the town's early days as a leading spa resort.Sulphur springs still flow beneath the cellar, and the distinctive odors occasionally percolate up to the bar area, making it one of the first inns for spa visitors after sulphur wells were first established in the mid-18th century.The Promenade Inn was built in 1827 and is now known as The Promenade Inn.It was said to be a very successful coaching inn at the time.It was expanded in 1856 and was known as Hodgson's until William Hales became the landlord in 1882.Our main lounge bar has been well preserved, with mirrors and other interesting Victorian features and fittings, such as traditional gas lighting and cigar lighters.
